1941 F15 rear axle
Gooday Fellas
I am aware that this question may have been asked before, but as I am new to the forum I thought I would run it by you anyway.My 1940 F15 is missing its rear axle and I have been looking for a Ford axle,now after reading some of the posts on this forum I am wondering if I should be looking for a C15 rear axle.Chevrolet axles are fairly plentiful around here so that would make my life a lot easier.My truck chassis number is 1G-8129F and the cab has the air vents at the front.I look forward to seeing your comments.I originally bought the truck about 20 years ago to save it from the crusher and then sell it to an interested restorer,but not one person who has been through my yard in those 20 years has shown any interest in it. I thought that with all the knowledge available here I might give the old girl a bit of a tidy up myself. Cheers Ken

My 1940 Cab 11 F15A has serial # 1G 10495 F and would have been made in August 1940. Yours is about 2300 units earlier so should have been made in July.
Where did you find the serial number? (It's actually the motor number but served as the serial number too on the Cab 11s and 12s.) The number would be on the motor and on the top of the bell housing as well as on the side of the frame on the passengers side. Mine has Chev axles front and rear and Chev shocks on the rear. I have extra F15A axles but shipping would be a killer. Post a few pix when you get time.

Gooday again
Thankyou all for the great response,I do owe you an apology for putting 1941 instead of 1940 in the thread title I noticed it as soon as I pushed the post button.The cab is a 11cab and I found the chassis number on the left chassis rail between the step brackets.I will try and post some photos but it won't be untill the weekend.It is interesting that when I bought my 1941 C60L in 1980 that I asked the local library if they could get me a book on blitz trucks[how was I to know that Australians are the only ones that call them blitzes]but to the libraries credit they hunted down a book on Opel blitzes from the German army,I was so disapointed now I can sit in my own home and at the push of a button I can have good reliable information from people as keen as I am on CMPs.Cletrac do you think mine should have the Chevrolet axles also off topic a bit I have a M2 high speed tractor ex RAAF with Serial12JA000 but there is no date of delivery on it.Anyway I only have about another 100 questions to go. Cheers Ken

GM axle
I would have thought the answer would be yes if it was a F15A and no for a F15 - the shortage was mainly with driven front axles.
